Thanks all for the reply & sorry for not using the code tags...
excuse me as I am just a beginner right now.. Smilie

However, i feel it doesnt work..
i will explain in more detail...


i first find the files by the date, lets say 13May in a particular directory and uncompress them
Code:
 gunzip \'*\'${date}*

Then I change the permission
Code:
 chmod 777 \'*\'${date}*

After this Step, lets say I get a file as
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'13May06:03:45

. This is value which i see in the runnnig the script in debug mode
This piece of code picks up the file
Code:
 \'*\'${date}*

file name can be anything but format will be the same as above.

now dynamically i need to rename whatever file comes

so for e.g. if it is
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'13May06:03:45

Then output has to be
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'

Another example: Lets say file name is 'ABCCDT20515'15May05:17:38.Z

Then expected output is
Code:
 'ABCCDT20515'

.

This renamed file has to be placed in the same directory then.

Kindly help.

I really appreciate your replies and kindly bear with me.
I am just in learning stages of Shell scripting

Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song(3pm)

NAME
Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song - a song object with some audio tags VERSION
version 1.120881 DESCRIPTION
Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song is more a placeholder with some attributes. Those attributes are taken from the song tags, so some of them can be empty depending on the file. The constructor should only be called by Audio::MPD::Common::Item's constructor. ATTRIBUTES
album Album of the song. (format code: %d) artist Artist of the song. (format code: %a) albumartist Artist of the album. (format code: %A) composer Song composer. (format code: %C) date Last modification date of the song. (format code: %M) disc Disc number of the album. This is a string to allow tags such as "1/2". (format code: %D) file Path to the song. Only attribute which will always be defined. (format code: %f) genre Genre of the song. (format code: %g) id Id of the song in MPD's database. (format code: %i) last_modified Last time the song was modified. (format code: %m) name Name of the song (for http streams). (format code: %N) performer Song performer. (format code: %P) pos Position of the song in the playlist. (format code: %p) title Title of the song. (format code: %t) track Track number of the song. (format code: %n) time Length of the song in seconds. (format code: %l) METHODS
as_string my $str = $song->as_string( [$format] ); Return a string representing $song. If $format is specified, use it to format the string. Otherwise, the string returned will be: either "album = track = artist = title" or "artist = title" or "title" or "file" (in this order), depending on the existing tags of the song. The last possibility always exist of course, since it's a path. This method is also used to automatically stringify the $song.
